Need a trigger when I add or remove languages in Language Settings

Posted on by Community Member

Hi,

I need a trigger when I add or remove languages in Language Settings. The trigger can be in Plugin Registration.

How can get that trigger?

In LanguageLocale: statuscode and statecode doesn't change even the language is active. Please see following screenshot of "English US" language. I am surprise with it.

    Hi Kokulan,

    Value of Statecode is same for all the languages listed regardless of active/deactive. As per your suggestion, I have deactivated the language but value is still same. You can also see using your Dynamics instance API "domain/.../languagelocale". You will find that all the languages has same value for Active/Deactive. I think there is any other mechanism behind this but not getting actual behavior.

    Please suggest your thoughts!

    Hi

    If you look the above Statecode values, 0 is for Active.

    Could you deactivate a language and see if the code change to 1

    Hi Kokulan,

    Initially I thought the same to create a plugin on "update" of "statecode" or "statuscode". But when I looked at data using API, it doesn't show "1" for "Active" statuscode even the language is active. I have added screenshot of "English US" language which is already active in my CRM but it still say "0"/"null" for that language. And this value is same for all the languages. Please review screenshot that I just added in question.

    Please suggest.

    Hi

    If you only want your code to work when its activated or DeActicated, you could use the SetState message as thats more appropriate and will only trigger when state changes.

    To answer your question of which field and what value you should be using, please see below for the Statecode and Statuscode

    EntitySchemaName IsCustomizable SchemaName Type OptionValue OptionDescription
    LanguageLocale no Code String
    LanguageLocale no Language String
    LanguageLocale no LanguageLocaleId Uniqueidentifier
    LanguageLocale no LocaleId Integer
    LanguageLocale no Name String
    LanguageLocale no OrganizationId Lookup
    LanguageLocale no Region String
    LanguageLocale no statecode State 0 Active
    LanguageLocale no statecode State 1 Inactive
    LanguageLocale no statuscode Status 1 Active
    LanguageLocale no statuscode Status 2

    Inactive

    Hi Kokulan,

    If I use "Update" in Message Name, which field(attribute) I need to use to identify whether language is activate or deactivate? There 2 fields statecode and statuscode. But both the fields have same value for all the language. I need a field which I can use in Plugin to identify the operation.

    Please guide.

    Hi

    You could create a Plugin on LanguageLocale and it supports the following messages

    Message Name Primary Entity
    Retrieve LanguageLocale
    RetrieveMultiple LanguageLocale
    SetState LanguageLocale
    Update LanguageLocale

    Hi Goutam,

    Thanks for the idea. But I need a trigger when user activate/deactivate any language from CRM. Actually, I want to call a plugin when add and remove data in my custom entity based on active/de active operation.

    Please suggest,

    Hi ,

    You can not trigger any action on change of language , however you can get the user language id using "userSettings.languageId" from global context. So try to pass this value to your plugin.
